Depth gauge
Fig.14
The depth gauge is convenient for drilling holes of
uniform depth. Loosen the side grip and insert the depth
gauge into the hole in the side grip. Adjust the depth
gauge to the desired depth and tighten the side grip.
NOTE:
•
The depth gauge cannot be used at the position
where the depth gauge strikes against the gear
housing.
Dust cup
Fig.15
Use the dust cup to prevent dust from falling over the
tool and on yourself when performing overhead drilling
operations. Attach the dust cup to the bit as shown in
the figure. The size of bits which the dust cup can be
attached to is as follows.
Bit diameter
Dust cup 5
6 mm - 14.5 mm
Dust cup 9
12 mm - 16 mm

OPERATION
Hammer drilling operation
Fig.16
Set the action mode changing knob to the
symbol.
Position the bit at the desired location for the hole, then
pull the switch trigger.
Do not force the tool. Light pressure gives best results.
Keep the tool in position and prevent it from slipping
away from the hole.
Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes
clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at
an idle, then remove the bit partially from the hole. By
repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out
and normal drilling may be resumed.
CAUTION:
•
There is a tremendous and sudden twisting force
exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole break-
through, when the hole becomes clogged with
chips and particles, or when striking reinforcing
rods embedded in the concrete. Always use the
side grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold the tool
by both side grip and switch handle during
operations. Failure to do so may result in the loss
of control of the tool and potentially severe injury.
NOTE:
Eccentricity in the bit rotation may occur while operating
the tool with no load. The tool automatically centers
itself during operation. This does not affect the drilling
precision.
Blow-out bulb (optional accessory)
Fig.17
After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the
dust out of the hole.
Chipping/Scaling/Demolition
Fig.18
Set the action mode changing knob to the
symbol.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on
and apply slight pressure on the tool so that the tool will
not bounce around, uncontrolled. Pressing very hard on
the tool will not increase the efficiency.
Drilling in wood or metal
Fig.19
Fig.20
Use the optional drill chuck assembly. When installing it,
refer to "Installing or removing the bit" described on the
previous page.
Set the action mode changing knob so that the pointer
points to the
symbol.
CAUTION:
•
Never use "rotation with hammering" when the drill
chuck assembly is installed on the tool. The drill
chuck assembly may be damaged. Also, the drill
chuck will come off when reversing the tool.
•
Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up
the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will
only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease
the tool performance and shorten the service life
of the tool.
•
There is a tremendous twisting force exerted on
the tool/bit at the time of hole breakthrough. Hold
the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins
to break through the workpiece.
•
A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the
reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to
back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly
if you do not hold it firmly.
•
Always secure small workpieces in a vise or
similar hold-down device.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
•
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Replacing carbon brushes
Fig.21
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
